Labor concedes defeat in Flynn

Labor's candidate for Flynn has conceded defeat after achieving a substantial swing in the central Queensland seat.

Zac Beers says he phoned LNP MP Ken O'Dowd on Tuesday to congratulate him on his re-election after falling 1368 votes behind with 86.3 per cent of the vote counted.

"Despite not being the result I'd ultimately hoped for, I hope this strong result for Labor will mean central Queensland's voice is heard when it comes to ensuring more funding for regional communities," he said after recording a swing of 5.69 per cent.
